NAMM2017: Introducing Fabulous Silicon Paradigm Hardware Synthesizer

Published on Jan 19, 2017 Analogue Zone Showroom / Synths and Studio

This sounds super interesting. It features a new type of architecture that allows you to construct and dynamically reconstruct analog circuits in realtime. Internally modular? Details below.

$1249 coming to Kickstater.

"Paradigm is the product of five years of research and development resulting in the first commercially available synthesizer based on dynamically programmable analog signal processing technology.

Unlike conventional analog synthesizers, Paradigm is uniquely capable of dynamically restructuring its own circuitry in real-time, thereby enabling a degree of flexibility and control that has not been previously possible in the analog domain.

This is made possible by an array of four “Apex” programmable analog chips, the third generation of such devices developed by Anadigm Corporation.
